Rare Ferrari 250 GTO sold

A rare and coveted 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO has been sold by RM Auctions, the global leader in the collector car market.

The 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the only thirty-six 250 GTOs originally produced. Its also one of the limited few with Series II GTO bodywork. The Ferrari 250 GTO, with chassis no 4675, was raced by drivers such as Guido Fossati, Jean Guichet, Oddone Sigala, Vincenzo Nember and Luigi Taramazzo and proved itself a tremendously capable racing car, rarely finishing outside the top three in its class and achieving numerous race wins.

In addition to being considered one of the most beautiful cars ever built by Ferrari, the GTO, with 302bhp @ 7500rpm and a top speed of 280kph, was tremendously successful in competition, securing multiple World Championships for the Modenese car builder.

“The exclusivity of Ferrari’s 250 GTO cannot be understated. As they rarely come to market, new owners become part of a very exclusive ‘club’ and are welcomed with open arms at any of the world’s great concours events, races and rallies. It’s fantastic that this car will now be used in earnest on the classic car scene around Europe,” said Max Girardo, Managing Director of RM Europe.
